a money grab. i have enough packs to be happy without dropping 500 on this 1
I just paid $45 a pack for my very nice Bodhi strains, and got GLG BOGO along with several Bad Dawg Freebies.
So out of the $500 asking price. How much do you guys think is Berner expecting people to want to pay for his album or for the seeds? Like, do you think Berner think the beans are worth $480 and his album is worth $20 or?
Also, only 15 beans across TWO strains? Bodhi does 11/12 per pack normally.
A person can spend lots of $ chasing the latest and greatest.
I wait and buy discounts a few month later.
Bodhi knew who he was getting into bed with from the beginning.
Heres a Bubbashine HP f2 update. Had 2 females, 3 males - one male culled bc it was much faster to flower. The two females have a great bushy structure. Males more vertical but they are confined to 1gals. The males have pretty narrow leaves surprisingly. Ill be doing some lower branch pollenation for F3s. Not much to report on smells yet (wk2-3ish flower), light citrus on stem rub, some herbal celery kinda stem rub too. The females are very easygoing plants in 5gals, they dont seem picky on nutes and adjusted to me switching lights around a bunch easily.
ooh the 3rd/4th pic and the last pic remind me of my SSDD F2 girl! What I call buttershine. The branching on your girl and those leaves on that male both are familiar traits in my eyes. Herbal celery sounds about right too for the stem rub, thatās another thing I look for in the SSDD lineās when hunting bubbashine.
Oo good to know. The smaller female has the celery herbal stem rub and displayed a variegated leaf, so Ive had my eye on that one for a bubbashine leaner. The larger hedge bush female has the citrus. The males are now in their own closet, hoping to get a decent amount of F3s while not pollenating the whole tent haha.
Seed stratification is a real thing. Itās necessary for a lot of self-seeding plants, both annuals and perennials. Iāve done it with older weed seeds. Iām not saying that fresh pot seeds need it, but it is a thing.
The thing I found with freezing seeds vs refrigerating is after frozen seeds thaw, they need to be planted. Canāt re-freeze or dilly-dally about getting them into the ground.
But, back to real Bodhi. Herer Hashplant, just flipped.
I winced when I read the part about freezing - if those arenāt drier than dry itāll destroy them. Maybeā¦ hopefully, theyāll all be zero germ & b already got paid
Must have been desperate to pay a bill to go to a loan shark in a giant hoodie.
Poor Bodhi. We should do something for him.
Oh Iām not casting doubt on seed stratification, Iām just saying thatās something they should have done before letting people buy them for $500 a pack. And then they make Bodhi explain to people that they need to be frozen to emulate nature lol, like putting a bow on a turd. I brought up the fact that Bodhi never says we have to freeze his seeds because Iām sure he takes care of all that before we get to them. Heād never release seeds under those conditions under his own name. Seed stratification is not something the end consumer should have to worry about for the most part IMO
All that said - raspberry orgasm sounds like an interesting mom - Im guessing goji raz x orgasmatron?
Or Goji Razz x Wookie Orgasm?
like loyally buy his seeds for years?
Poor Bodhi? Iām pretty sure he got paid for thisā¦ and he willingly works for Berner now tooā¦
Looks more like a Bodhi pack than anything else. Even has the purple bag and gold label.
And if heās the lead geneticist, why is he running PR and telling people how to pop the seeds? Sounds like Berner is just using the Bodhi name to hype it all up. If he really wanted him for his vast knowledge only, Bodhi would be in a grow room with his head down diligently working.
Fickle bunch. Everyone does realize that it seems like heās gone through a lot lately. Separated with a kid. Maybe some other difficulties that led to the separation in the first place. Probably costly.
Itās an odd partner based on his philosophy but I have difficulties faulting him if heās looking to help shore up a stable income stream.
With that being said, Iām not particularly interested in the Berner brand. I harbor no ill will toward Bodhi and wish him success.
I feel the same way. Iām not hating on Bodhi for taking a good sized paycheck in a recession with a newly divorced ex wife and 2 kids, one of which would require 100% care for probably the rest of the kids life.
I watched a podcast with Kevin Jodrey and he was saying how he was in the same boat a while ago. Jodrey has his doctorate in plant shit and that comes with student loans. He couldnāt just take any old position as a grower, he needed to be compensated fairly for his vast knowledge. Iād assume Bodhi is the same way. Bodhi isnāt a regular grower, heās something special and should be compensated for that fairly. He hadnāt even raised his pack prices for YEARS!! Bodhi took care of us for so long, let him reap some benefits of his knowledge and get paid.
Yea no one is hating on Bodhi. He doesnāt make the final decisions of what goes down at Cookies. Def not hating on him for taking a paycheck. Def hating on Berner/Cookies though. They def arenāt showing him or his passion the respect they deserve. If they truly appreciated what he had to offer they would have made him a partner or just rebrand, kick Berner to the curb and make Bodhi CEO. Theyāre gonna have to change their name once federal legalization hits. The govt isnāt gonna let a company called āCookiesā sell marijuana products lol. Might be too appealing to children, or kids would get into the weed because they thought it was actual cookies. Berner dumb af thinking Cookies is going to be a 100 year brand. They have until federal legalization hits before they need to completely rebrand.
